Ingredients

Scale

Noodles:

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup cold water

Soup:

  • 1 tsp vegetable oil
  • 1 pound chicken breast ((thinly sliced))
  • 2 tsp butter
  • 2 medium carrots ((peeled and sliced))
  • 2 medium celery stalks ((sliced))
  • 1 small onion ((diced))
  • 1 clove garlic ((minced))
  • ½ tsp rubbed sage
  • ¼ tsp ground thyme
  • 2 Tbsp flour
  • 4 cups unsalted chicken broth ((like Swanson))
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup 1% milk
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 2/3 cup frozen peas ((check for sodium-free))

Instructions

Noodles:

  1. Put the flour in a mixing bowl and make a well. Add the egg and enough cold water to make a stiff dough (about 1/4 cup cold water). Set aside.

Soup:

  1. In a large kettle, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breast in the pan, until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the kettle and reduce the heat to medium-low.
  2. Melt the butter in the pot, being careful not to burn. Immediately add the carrot, celery, onion, garlic, sage and thyme. Sautee for about 3-5 minutes or until veggies begin to soften.  
  3. Add the flour to the kettle and stir into the veggies. Cook for another 2 minutes.
  4. Add the chicken broth a little at a time, stirring well after each addition to ensure that the flour is evenly incorporated. Stir in the water and bring to a boil. Cover and let simmer for about 7 minutes.
  5. Make the noodles by pinching off dough directly into the boiling pot of soup. Once you’ve pinched off all the dough, simmer the noodles in the soup for about 8 minutes.
  6. Stir in the chicken, frozen peas, milk, and soy sauce. Cook for about 4 more minutes, or until the peas are heated through.
